Featuring:
Chris Letcher, Lynch Rider Lulu, Bob Constant, Gilbert
+ DJs playing the dark, weird and wonderful….
Chris Letcher
Acclaimed South African songwriter/composer Chris Letcher and his band perform songs from their new album 'Frieze' – fresh from tours of South Africa and gigs at Sine in New York and SXSW.
"A 16-track album, 'Frieze' is everything that Letcher promised in those early years… keenly intelligent, musically dense, utterly memorable, always sliding through any attempts to nail it down to a genre." Entertainment Africa
Female fronted alt-rock 4-piece… …expect hypnotic rhythms, dynamic guitar riffs-a-plenty and finely crafted songs about the characters history forgot...

Gilbert
Heavenly sounds with a quirky twist… music for daydreaming and contemplating with lashing of dark humour. Beautifully arranged melodies and themes combine with loops and samples, live vocals, violin, pianet, bass, vox continental and drums. This is Gilbert's only London show prior to playing Green Man Festival – so catch them while you can.

Bob Constant & the Goodbye Horses
A glimpse into the poetic world of Bob Constant & the Goodbye Horses, the acoustic trio whose music straddles the place where absurd meets melancholy. If Tom Waits and Rufus Wainwright were to meet on a creaking staircase in a haunted house it might just sound something like this…. Fractured, beautiful and a little unnerving….
